The blockades of two key crossroads downtown Sofia – “Eagles’ Bridge” and that front of the government buildings continue. Many public transport lines run on diverted routes. There were no more than 50 protesters in the two tent camps during the day, it was reported.

Protesters from the tent camps say they will stay until they receive the resignations of the Prime Minister and the Prosecutor General. The 22nd night of discontent began with the placement of umbrellas, sunbeds, inflatable mattresses and other beach accessories in front of the government building.

Despite the heat, protests are planned to take place in other cities in the evening, as well. The main protest in Sofia is planned to start 11 pm and after that temporary blockades of other junctions are expected to take place.

These protests pave the way for Bulgaria's future, President Rumen Radev said at a briefing.

Before the ceremony for announcing the ranking of the 100 largest companies in this country, the President said that he was ready with the composition of the possible caretaker government, BTA has reported.
